Okay so I am getting the Jimi Hendrix Monterey Pop Festival strat that he set on fire tattooed on my shoulder blade.....the one that looks like the remake that john mayer plays....

...I want to get a quote about music or blues or a good lyric line underneath it but I can't decide on one.

What are some good quotes and/or lyrics from John Lennon, Hendrix, B.B.king, conor oberst or anyone else who can write good lyrics or play a guitar???

Was this racket down here
Bangin' on an old guitar
And singing what I had to say.

Here are some of my fav Hendrix quotes:

"I dont like to tune my guitar, it takes time away from doing drugs.....whoa, at this rate I'll be dead by 28."

"Damn.... I cant keep this stupid thing in tune..... Oh well, I guess I'll smash the f*ck out of it."

"Watch me do this fat rail off of this hippy chicks $@!."

"I wont over dose, god, what are you, my f*ckin' mom, give me some more smack!"

Yea, ok...

I've always liked this quote, not much to do with a Strat though, "And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make."

There's always Zappa's "Shut up and play yer guitar".
